*spits tea out* Brillaint! I return to work in three weeks and have many of these pretrending hurdles to overcome… not least the fudging wardrobe!!! Eugh. Thank you for making me laugh at my soon to be self!! X

Those shoes are gorgeous! However, the thought of walking on something that high for longer than 5 minutes is scary. And I use to live in heels before babies. ? But keep them and dream of being “it”. #dreamteamJeannette recently posted…Chivas Regal 12 yo Blended whisky

Lol another brilliant post – I need to give up the ghost and stop trying to wear clothes that just don’t fit properly anymore and kidding myself that I’m really enjoying the big Saturday nights out with the girls that I’m lucky enough to escape to now and again – it’s lovely to see them but I’d much rather be in a quiet pub having a nice meal and a chat than in an incredibly noisy bar filled with scarily young people doing shots! #DreamTeamSiobhan recently posted…The Mum Reflex

Just popping back over from #DreamTeam. I’m still only halfway through my Hygge book after all this time!! I definitely haven’t got ‘it’, whatever ‘it’ is…! xxxMrs Lighty recently posted…Mrs Lighty’s Blogger Recognition Award

I’ve never been trendy. I have made my peace with it. I actually relished motherhood as it gave me a legitimate excuse not to bother. Embrace the ‘pretrending’ and come to the dark side. We have cake over here! (In moderation of course.) #DreamTeamAngela Watling (Life, Motherhood and Everything) recently posted…When I had no desire to blog

Oh thanks Nige! Sorry about the tea. Now tell me – is it green tea extract with a hint of ginger though? If so I’m not sure we can be friends any more. I’m not cool enough for anything beyond PG Tips! 😉 x

Eeek I think I am heading this way. Having been out of “cool” (do people even use that phrase anymore??) circles for so long, I’m desperately out of touch. Hubby manages a team at work that employ quite a few work placement students so he sometimes use the lingo at home and I have no idea what he’s on about!

I actually had my own moment of clarity last week at work. I jokily called one of my (admittedly somewhat younger) lovely male colleagues my “work huband”. I meant it affectionately. I like to think we’re good friends at work… He responded with a heartfelt smile and the words “work son maybe?”. #mortfied #iamofficiallyold #imnowthemotherfigureoftheworkplace ?? x

Ha ha good one. Pretending is. Good tactic to me. Let’s do whatever we need to. This motherhood lark is a funny one eh. I’ve been selling my fancy heels on eBay as they’ve been too neglected!!! #dreamteam

I find it’s always good to keep just one pair though. Just for proof that you do still have “it”. Or at least that cardboard box in your wardrobe does? I’m with you though. Sell the rest and buy some comfy fitflops instead! 😉 Thank you Sunita x

Oh how things change. So many of these lines make sense, especially *hangs head in shame* the hangover and I looked at myself and thought I’m wearing things I never thought I would but they’re comfortable! *Did I just say the C word?* #DreamTeamMama Grace recently posted…My First Party Bag

Omg this is totally my life! I am definitely pretrending (can we get that hashtag trending?!) By the way, those shoes are WAY too beautiful to be kept in a box! #DreamTeamSomething About Baby recently posted…This is a Man’s World

I think we all pretend at some stage and the fact is parenting changes you whether you want or or not. Never would I have imagined I would get so excited about removing a piece of snot from a child’s nose, lol X #dreamteam

Oh I have all of these feels too! Who even am I? How am I meant to behave now? Who am I kidding?! Most favourite line has to be this “I’ll sit in garden centres with a coffee and a scone, Then just to keep things current I’ll do Insta on my phone.” Truly inspired! I think there’s a few of us in this club, thankfully! #DreamTeamjustsayingmum recently posted…Pushing Adulthood Away

You just summed up my life in one gorgeously funny poem. I try and fail to be as cool as my younger sisters – but unfortunately being ‘hip’ (I think that’s the wrong word) just alludes me! #dreamteamMuffin top mummy recently posted…Making memories this Bank Holiday

It was my hairdresser that alerted me to the fact. She was getting all giddy because she only had 4 sleeps left until she could have a drink. I did that thing when I tried to remember when I might have last had one… and couldn’t! Thanks so much Nat! x

As always a delightfully funny read!my favourite part was the use of word fandangled – AMAZING – closely followed my the clever placement of ‘fudging’ #dreamteamBecky – MommyandRory recently posted…Less Like a Mommy and More Like a Daddy?

Brilliant! I can relate, I think I may have lost my cool somewhere along the way! Oh and I have a yankee candle obsession, I have just counted and I have ten of them in the living room alone – whoops! x #DreamTeamYvonne recently posted…#SMB -Twitter Week-How Tweet It Is!

Hahah I am totally a pretender too!! With a 13 year old I try to keep up with the latest trends and lingo (still don’t get what bae means!!) but I’m faking it all the way! I’m happy to accept that at 37, I’m past it….until I’ve had a bottle of wine and then I’m 18 again!! #dreamteamfive little doves recently posted…Our perfect day at Cbeebies Land Alton Towers
